Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is facing an Aug. 28 trial date on two misdemeanor charges related to driving under the influence of prescription drugs.

The trial date was set Thursday after Irsay waived an initial hearing on the charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and operating a vehicle with a Schedule I or II controlled substance in his body.

The Hamilton (Ind.) Superior Court docket says the case is scheduled for a bench trial before Judge Richard Campbell.

A pre-trial hearing also has been scheduled for July 28.

Irsay was charged after a traffic stop in Carmel, Ind. A blood test revealed he had "oxycodone and/or hydrocodone" in his system when a Carmel police officer pulled him over at 11:40 p.m. ET on March 16, according to court documents.

The charges carry a maximum sentence of 60 days in jail, typically suspended for first-time offenders such as Irsay.
